Fall Update

Sun, 10 Oct 2010 21:34:01 -0800

Hey Everyone,

Hope all is well. It has been a crazy summer out here in Seattle. On 9/11, I broke my leg skateboarding on the neighborhood street. Both the tibia and fibula snapped and the break required surgery (17 screws & 2 plates). Not looking forward to the airport security lines but I am on the road to recovery. Hopefully only another month of crutches.

Lots of new stuff in the work...Red Carpet Killers album...coming very soon.

Check back!!

There are plenty of new songs, songs that got a make over and also some cover songs we have been playing live over the past few months. Some more work to do, but this is happening fast. Check back soon.
